Comparison
Carrd is excellent at what it does, and this page will not pretend otherwise. Both tools build one-page sites. They differ most on enquiries, revision history, and portable export: Carrd puts forms and site downloads on paid plans and does not list revision history, while SitePetal includes all three free. Every Carrd fact here was read on carrd.co itself on 24 August 2026.
On Carrd, contact forms begin at Pro Standard, $19 a year. On SitePetal a published page stores messages in a private inbox and can email the configured owner, with a honeypot and rate limiting in front of it — included, not upgraded.
Every save creates an immutable revision, twenty of which are kept per site, and any of them restores as a new one. A draft never touches the live page until you publish it deliberately.
Export the page as one self-contained HTML file, or the entire workspace as JSON. Neither export sits behind a tier, because a site you cannot take with you is not really yours.
Each Carrd fact below comes from carrd.co itself — the homepage and the Pro plans page — read on 24 August 2026. Prices are per year. SitePetal facts describe this product as it ships today.

| Branding on your page | One small footer link on hosted pages; exports carry none | 'Made with Carrd' on free; removal needs any Pro plan |
An alternatives page that cannot say 'pick the other one' sometimes is not worth reading. Here is the honest split as it stands in August 2026.
A useful page starts with an accurate promise. These limits apply before you begin.
For everything in the table above, yes. SitePetal runs no paid plan and collects no card details; publishing, enquiries, revisions, and export all work at no cost within stated limits. Carrd builds up to three sites free, and its paid tiers begin at $9 a year, with contact forms starting at Pro Standard, $19 a year — figures checked on carrd.co on 24 August 2026.
No, and SitePetal cannot export into Carrd either. Open both side by side, copy your headline, benefits, proof, and footer into a template, and adjust the colours to taste. One-page sites move quickly because there is simply not much to move.
When your page needs a custom domain, embedded third-party widgets like scheduling or checkout, premium templates, or a long-established editor with a large community. SitePetal offers none of those today and prefers saying so over hedging.
No. Carrd builds one-page sites and so does SitePetal. If the project needs blogs, shops, or several linked pages with navigation, both tools are the wrong shape whatever they cost.
